Saintsfan Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I believe that HawkEye was used at the US tennis open, and I was wondering if anyone uses it in there baseball coverage in the US.Let me explain a bit further, essentially, HawkEye was developed for Channel 4 when they started to cover cricket in England. Essentially it uses a similar system to laser guidance systems to trace the path of deliveries. It was designed ion part to help 'visualise' contentious decisions, but IMO actually is best used to analyse the performance of different bowlers. (Where does the ball pitch, the variation of curve they get on the ball, etc.) And it always struck me that it would be good to watch a baseball players 'at bat' using it. How do the batters cope with different amounts of curve on the ball? That kind of thing. I was wondering if any of the US broadcasters had picked up on it? 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 never heard of it, but it sounds useful. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinga87 Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 They did a very funny sketch of HawkEye on one of the comedy shows here earlier in the year, with every ball bowled in the test, then every ball bowled this year, this decade etc...
